Re: Back to my garden....

I think I do see a slight curve at the far end, but the rest is straight and
boring.  Sorry, just one person's opinon.   It doesn't need drastic changes,
just slight curves to keep it interesting.

As to last minute plantings, sure I can understand that with annuals and
tenders, but the perennials should go in soon so they will look more
natural.  You don't want it to look like those fake set ups at the H&G show.
Groundcover plants that spill out over rocks rather than sprouting from
them, that sort of thing.

You sure do have your work cut out for you.
